Monopoly Gamer Price: CDN$ 39.93 Visually appealing but around here it fails to excite teens and/or adults I grew up with Monopoly and it was one of the few board games we’d pull out regularly, something about taking over all the real estate seemed to work for me. I was looking forward to getting into […]

FurReal Friends Makers Proto Max Toy Price: CDN$ 119.99 More fun than a barrel full of monkeys or blowing bubbles in the summer Because of the way this toy makes the kids engage and think while playing with it plus the way they repeatedly go back to it and learn something new I’m happy to […]

Scotch Double Sided Tape, 12.7mm x 10.1m, 2 Rolls, (137DM-2) Price: CDN$ 6.28 Excellent product that stands up to temperature extremes while maintaining adhesion I know it’s a simple thing, double sided tape but there is a bit of thought that goes into producing this stuff that makes it useful in so many different ways. […]

Perky-Pet 312 Panorama Bird Feeder, Small Nice looking colour and finish but design could be improved This is an ok small sized bird feeder. The colour used on the exterior gives it a nice almost rustic appearance and the design is simple and elegant which looks good anywhere. I won’t bore you with a list […]

Perky-Pet 385-2 2-in-1 Wild Bird Feeder Price: CDN$ 19.20 Nice look and finish but design needs to be improved I like what they are trying to do with this feeder but there is one major design flaw. Being able to use two different types of feed is a good thing, being able to limit how […]

Tile EC-09001 Tile Sport – Key Finder. Phone Finder. Anything Finder (Graphite) – 1-pack Price:CDN$ 44.99 Brilliant system, horrible Terms Of Service agreement I apologize for the length of this review, I wanted to be thorough and not cut any corners.

Victor M310S Tin Cat Live Mouse Trap Price: CDN$ 24.34 Allows for putting mice back into their food chain while keeping my tomatoes safe Fall, that time of year when mice decide it’s time to crawl into our green house and munch on whatever might be growing inside.

SportDOG Brand TEK Series 2.0 GPS Tracking System Price: CDN$ 866.78 This is about the most sophisticated and well-built hunting tool I have ever been able to get my hands on This is so much more than a collar or training system which means that reviewing it will take more than a few words.

Szco Supplies WatchFire Camper’s Hatchet Price: CDN$ 14.95 Not a log splitter, it’s a hatchet and pretty good one, keep one in your trunk and thank me later These are nice little hatchets for keeping in the trunk of your car. Think of them as a piece of emergency gear. It’s not something that you […]

Bissell 8852 ProHeat Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner Price: CDN$ 249.99 Beware of Hobbits and tricksy wives I was pretty excited to get this. There’s this old RV parked outside that’s been well used and as such the carpeting inside was in dire need of cleaning. Amazing how much stuff can get carried in on socks […]

A light and a slightly narrower working end would be nice Ok, I’m an old guy and as such I have hair growing where it doesn’t belong. I do have a couple of other trimmers for doing nose and ear hairs, even a couple of shavers with attachments that allow for getting after these hairs, […]
